Mar, 2026 : Bold Raises $40M to Bring AI Security to Endpoints
📅 - Bold Security has emerged from stealth with $40 million in funding, backed by Bessemer Venture Partners, Picture Capital, and Red Dot Capital Partners. The startup is targeting a growing gap in enterprise security: what users - and increasingly AI tools - are actually doing on endpoint devices.
The company is led by CEO Nati Hazut, a serial entrepreneur with two prior exits. He previously founded Polyrize, acquired by Varonis, and SAM, whose technology now secures hundreds of millions of devices for telecom operators including Verizon and Virgin Media. Bold is already working with several Fortune 500 firms, including Shutterfly and Tekion.
Founded alongside CPO Hadar Krasner and CTO Omri [...][... Check source for end of article ...]
📅 - Infranity Backs Retelit With €175M to Expand Italian Data Centers - Infrastructure investor Infranity has committed €175 million to Retelit Datacenter as part of a €375 million financing package aimed at expanding data center capacity across Italy, the companies said this week. The deal targets rising demand for colocation and cloud infrastructure in key cities including Milan, Rome, and Bologna, where digital workloads continue to intensify.
The funding underscores a broader trend: capital is flowing steadily into European digital infrastructure, particularly in markets where demand is outpacing supply but hyperscale dominance is less entrenched.
Retelit Datacenter, owned by Asterion Industrial Partners, operates one of Italy's more interconnected data [...]
📅 - U.S. Charges Supermicro Co-Founder in Alleged AI Chip Smuggling Scheme - U.S. authorities have detained Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw, co-founder of server maker Supermicro, over allegations he helped orchestrate the illegal export of advanced AI servers to China, according to an indictment unsealed this week in New York, as Washington intensifies enforcement of restrictions on sensitive semiconductor technologies tied to national security concerns.
The case, brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, centers on what prosecutors describe as a deliberate effort to bypass export controls on high-performance computing systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs - hardware now firmly embedded in the geopolitical contest between the U.S. and China.
At stake is not just a criminal [...]
📅 - APAC IT Teams Face Mounting Pressure as AI Drives Cloud Costs Higher - Enterprises across Asia Pacific are accelerating AI adoption in 2026, but rising cloud cost volatility is exposing gaps in governance and operational control. New research from Info-Tech Research Group, released this week, warns that hybrid and multicloud complexity - combined with AI-driven workloads - is pushing infrastructure teams toward financial and operational risk unless operating models evolve rapidly to keep pace.
The report, Infrastructure & Operations Priorities 2026, lands at a moment when many organizations are scaling AI initiatives without fully understanding the cost implications of consumption-based pricing. What was once a predictable IT spend is now far more elastic - [...]
📅 - EdgeConneX Launches 200MW AI Data Center in Osaka - EdgeConneX has begun construction of a 200MW AI-ready data center campus in Greater Osaka, marking its first major deployment in Japan. Announced this week in partnership with Kagoya Asset Management, the project targets rising regional demand for high-density compute infrastructure as AI adoption accelerates, positioning Osaka as an emerging hub in Asia's increasingly competitive data center landscape.
The campus, located roughly 30 kilometers from Osaka's central business district, will span approximately 130,000 square meters and rank among the largest facilities in the Kansai region once completed. The first phase is scheduled to go live in early 2028, following EdgeConneX's formal [...]
📅 - Supermicro Board Member Wally Liaw Resigns - Supermicro board member Yih-Shyan "Wally" Liaw has resigned with immediate effect, as U.S. authorities pursue charges tied to alleged illegal exports of AI servers to China. The move comes amid intensifying enforcement of semiconductor export controls, placing fresh scrutiny on supply chains supporting high-performance computing infrastructure globally.
The company confirmed that Liaw's departure leaves its board with eight directors, with no immediate changes to committee structures. At the same time, Supermicro appointed DeAnna Luna as interim Chief Compliance Officer, signaling a shift toward tighter internal oversight.
DeAnna Luna, who joined the company in 2024, brings more than two [...]
📅 - Legrand Unveils Color-Coded Fiber for AI Data Centers - Legrand has unveiled a color-indexed fiber cabling system aimed at simplifying deployment in AI-driven data centers, where rising connection density is straining traditional installation methods. Announced at the Optical Fiber Communication Conference (OFC), the Chroma Link platform targets hyperscale operators grappling with the operational complexity of 800G and next-generation network architectures across increasingly dense infrastructure environments.
The launch reflects a growing pain point in modern data centers: while compute and switching technologies have advanced rapidly, physical layer management—particularly fiber - has become a bottleneck. As AI clusters scale, the number of [...]
